The final semester of my free education is well underway. It's starting to get to the point that I really just want to get out of this damn Valley. I've been stuck in the Valley for all of my life, and now it's my time to climb out and experience life. Even though I can't wait for that fateful day to come, I'm also scared to death of it. It's going to be weird; not getting the chance to see my parents every day, to have to actually live my own life. I may be sounding stupid right about now, but it's really a weird feeling. It's kind of a good feeling, though.
I might be getting a new part-time job this week. I interviewed for it two weeks ago and the boss-man finally called me back last Friday. I called him back and had to leave a message, so I'm not sure if it was a "you can start tomorrow" call or a "Dear Zach" call. If it's the latter, I guess I could always work at Staples.
Classes at the good 'ol NCTC have started back again. I'm taking Macroeconomics and Composition II this time around. You probably guess where I am if you read this blog somewhat frequently. I haven't been to the Jupiter House in a while, but now that I'm back I've forgotten how cool it was. I can't even write the simplest paper with one iota of creativity when I'm at home. I have to go somewhere that's open, fresh, and new. Somewhere that I don't have to keep up appearances. Somewhere I can let my brain go on any tirade I see fit. I really hope there's a place like this in Wichita Falls. Oh, I didn't tell you about that?
I've pretty much boiled my final college choices down to the University of North Texas or Midwestern State University. The front-runner at the moment is Midwestern, since they're cheaper and are pretty much equal with UNT in the Mass Communication field. I would love to be a news anchorman, a simple reporter, or maybe even a screenwriter. I've already written a pilot for a show I've came up with, but like all first drafts, it's shit. I'll fiddle with it some more.
Until next time, I'll be writing a literary analysis essay about some shitty story in my Lit book. Wish me luck.
Well, my first week of work hasn't been that bad. The new network engineer is starting this Monday, and I can't wait to meet him. Sure, the work I'm doing isn't really the most glamorous, and I really don't do much of anything on the technical side, but I'm learning a lot and having a pretty decent time doing it. I guess it's better when your dad is your boss, too.
My college class has been, to say the least, incredible. My professor is a short, balding, eccentric New Zealander who has a great sense of humor and makes very engaging conversation. I'm surprised I could get this great of an experience from a junior college. We always have great conversations that are never boring, and never condescending.
Anyhoo...I leave you all today with an amusing comic. Chuckle or die.
